Abstract
The purpose of this study is to establish a super power generation system where hydrogen rich synthesis gas, meeting the limit to the fuel of MCFC (Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell), can be efficiently extracted from biomass via the gasification and reforming technology. For that purpose, the experiments of architectural salvages gasification were performed with a bench scale two-step gasification system. The main influence factors on hydrogen production in the catalytic process and the non-catalytic process were investigated, and temperature was found to be the most important factor. At 950℃, without catalyst employment, the synthesis gas containing above 50% (% V/V) hydrogen was perfectly extracted from feedstock with the suitable selection for the operation parameter of S/C (Steam/Carbon Ratio) and ER (Equivalence Ratio). However, with employing commercial reforming catalyst to the reforming process, the similar result can be generated just at 750℃.
